| Targets |
hDHODH-IN-1 targets human dihydroorotate dehydrogenase (hDHODH), a class 2 mitochondrial enzyme that catalyzes the fourth and rate-limiting step of de novo pyrimidine biosynthesis, converting dihydroorotate to orotate. DHODH is essential for the proliferation of rapidly dividing cells, including activated lymphocytes, cancer cells, and cells of the immune system. By inhibiting DHODH, the compound depletes intracellular pyrimidine pools, which limits DNA and RNA synthesis and suppresses cell proliferation. hDHODH-IN-1 exhibits anti-inflammatory effects, likely through the suppression of lymphocyte proliferation and the production of inflammatory cytokines. The compound serves as a valuable tool for studying DHODH biology and developing therapies for diseases involving dysregulated pyrimidine metabolism.

| ln Vitro |
hDHODH is a class 2 dihydroorotate dehydrogenase. Because DHODH is essential for the viability of proliferating cells, inhibitors have been designed to limit human DHODH (hDHODH) activity, which has been linked to cancer, multiple sclerosis, autoimmune and inflammatory disorders [1].
In vitro, hDHODH-IN-1 is a selective inhibitor of human dihydroorotate dehydrogenase (hDHODH). The compound exhibits anti-inflammatory effects. By inhibiting DHODH, the compound depletes intracellular pyrimidine pools, which limits DNA and RNA synthesis and suppresses the proliferation of rapidly dividing cells. This mechanism underlies its anti-inflammatory activity, as the proliferation of activated lymphocytes is dependent on de novo pyrimidine biosynthesis. hDHODH-IN-1 provides a valuable research tool for exploring metabolic vulnerabilities of rapidly dividing cells and for investigating pyrimidine biosynthesis-dependent signaling pathways. The compound's activity is concentration-dependent, with efficacy observed at various concentrations depending on the assay and cell type. |
| ln Vivo |
In vivo, hDHODH-IN-1 has potential applications in inflammatory diseases, autoimmune diseases, and multiple sclerosis. As an hDHODH inhibitor with anti-inflammatory effects, the compound would be expected to suppress lymphocyte proliferation and reduce inflammation in animal models. DHODH inhibitors such as leflunomide and teriflunomide are clinically used for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis and multiple sclerosis, respectively. hDHODH-IN-1 may offer improved selectivity or potency compared to these agents. However, detailed in vivo efficacy, pharmacokinetic, and toxicological data for hDHODH-IN-1 require further investigation from primary research publications.

| Enzyme Assay |
In vitro enzyme/receptor binding (non-cellular) assays for hDHODH-IN-1 involve measuring inhibition of human recombinant DHODH enzymatic activity. The assay typically uses a colorimetric method detecting the conversion of dihydroorotate to orotate coupled with the reduction of the electron acceptor (e.g., 2,6-dichloroindophenol, DCIP). The enzyme is incubated with varying concentrations of the compound, substrate (dihydroorotate), and coenzyme (ubiquinone or decylubiquinone) in assay buffer (typically 50 mM Tris-HCl, pH 8.0, with 0.1% Triton X-100). The reaction is monitored spectrophotometrically by following the decrease in absorbance at 600 nm (DCIP reduction). IC₅₀ values are calculated from concentration-response curves.
|
| Cell Assay |
In vitro cellular experiments with hDHODH-IN-1 are performed using various cell lines to assess its effects on cell proliferation and inflammation. Lymphocytes, cancer cells, or other proliferating cell lines are cultured in appropriate media and treated with varying concentrations of the compound for 24-72 hours. Cell proliferation is assessed using [³H]thymidine incorporation, MTT, or CellTiter-Glo assays. Anti-inflammatory effects may be assessed by measuring the production of inflammatory cytokines (e.g., TNF-α, IL-6, IL-1β) using ELISA or by measuring the expression of inflammatory markers using RT-qPCR. The compound's effects on pyrimidine nucleotide levels may be measured using LC-MS. Cells are maintained at 37°C in 5% CO₂ with appropriate media supplements.
|
| Animal Protocol |
In vivo animal studies with hDHODH-IN-1 have not been extensively reported. For inflammatory disease models, standard in vivo studies include collagen-induced arthritis (CIA) for rheumatoid arthritis, experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) for multiple sclerosis, or other models of autoimmune and inflammatory diseases. Mice or rats are treated with hDHODH-IN-1 via oral, intraperitoneal, or intravenous administration at various doses and schedules. Efficacy is assessed by measuring clinical scores, inflammatory markers, histopathological examination of affected tissues, and immune cell infiltration. Pharmacodynamic markers such as DHODH inhibition and pyrimidine nucleotide levels may be measured to confirm target engagement.
